Dear St. Peter Parish Family, On June 5, 2022 I will turn 72. June 30, 2022 will bring to completion eight years of my pastorate at St. Peter Parish in Chesaning and St. Cyril Parish in Bannister, which began on July 1, 2014. My plan is to retire at the end of June 2022. As you many know I've had some acute health issues with my back resulting in two surgeries, one in December of 2020 and the other in May of 2021. The surgeries corrected two structural issues but cannot correct arthritis and stenosis.More and more mobility issues are developing in both of my legs. More and more mobility issues are developing in both of my legs. Therefore it is my desire to step-down and become a senior priest June 30, 2022. In Christ and Mary, Fr. Bill
